Aaron Carter has been talking about Hilary Duff again – and this time he seems determined to get her back!

The former teenage heartthrob had previously said that he lost “the love of his life” in Hilary and vowed to get her back.

Well, he seems to be reminding her of this when he recently said: “I’m not gonna give up on Hilary … ever.”

Aaron went on to say that if he ever stood a chance with Hilary again he would: “sweep her off her feet.”

Hmm, should Hilary’s on-off husband, Mike Comrie, be worried?

While there is a teenage part of us that would love to see this relationship happening, the other part is screaming “Run, Hilary!”

A recent study carried out by journal, Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, found that couples who use Twitter a lot tend to fight more.

The study was carried out by asking people in a relationship how much time they spend on Twitter and if they have ever emotionally cheated using the social media medium.

It was found that long-term and short-term couples are equally affected by their use of Twitter unlike Facebook which doesn’t impact long-term relationships as much.

The research was carried out on 581 Twitter users in a relationship who were asked how often they use Twitter as well as questions regarding their relationship.

Hmm, looks like you may want to stick with Facebook if you are in your relationship for the long haul!

It’s official – you love yourself!

A new study has revealed that we all look for similar traits in a partner that we possess ourselves.

The study was carried out by a data site called FiftyThirtyEight.

The site examined 1 million eHarmony users and looked at what precisely they look for in a partner.

eHarmony is a dating site that allows you to really detail who you are and what your are looking for in a partner in order to make the right match.

With regards to intelligence, interests, education and physical traits, it seems we all want someone who is similar to ourselves.

However it also found that people also look for someone who can do certain talents they themselves do not posses and would like to learn.

So, basically we would love to date an even better version of ourselves! Sounds perfect.

11 fictional men every woman dreams about

Relationships

Apr 10, 2014

by Amber Saunders

1. Noah from The Notebook

With his combination of charm, sincerity and adventurous spirit, Noah has all of the ingredients to be the perfect boyfriend. He knows what he wants, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it, even if that means dangling off a ferris wheel. Let’s face it: Ryan Gosling in any role is our dream boyfriend.

Memorable quote: “I want all of you, forever. You and me, every day.”

2. Nick from New Girl

From the moment that Jess moved in with the guys, we were already rooting for her and Nick to get together. Although he can be a little grumpy and pessimistic at times, he’s a loyal friend, a great listener and the perfect partner in crime. Who didn’t swoon during that amazing first-kiss scene?

Memorable quote: “I think you’re the kind of girl a guy would come back for.”

3. Jack from Titanic

Jack Dawson is the ultimate romantic. Come on, the guy froze to death to save the life of the girl he loved, even when it was quite clear he could have fit on that piece of wood. We love his boyish charm, spontaneity and smile that could melt any girl’s heart. Plus, he really knows how to wear a tux.

Memorable quote: “You jump, I jump, remember?”

4. Dr McDreamy from Greys Anatomy

Oh swoon swoonage. Mc Dreamy, the ultimate gentleman, he’s kind and gentle and… he’s a brain surgeon. Meridith is annoying as fuck and we don’t know how she got him but wow… a head trauma would almost be worth it for this guy.

Memorable quote: ”You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you.”

5. Pacey Witter from Dawson’s Creek

Pacey Witter was the heart throb of many a girl born in the late 80′s/early 90′s who watched Dawson’s Creek religiously. The way he looked and treated Joey Potter was unparalleled, he was the bench mark that many a boy was measured against and few measured up. So sweet, so unrealistic.

Memorable quote: ”You and I were one of the few things, perhaps the only thing, that ever made perfect sense to me.”

6. Tom from (500) Days of Summer

Tom is a hopeless romantic and one of the few guys left who still believes in fate and true love. You would never have to worry about “defining the relationship” with him – if Tom is with you, you can rest easy knowing he’s in it for the long haul. Plus, we love that he has good taste in music and a penchant for running through IKEA stores.

Memorable quote: “I love how she makes me feel. Like anything’s possible… or like life is worth it.”

7. Graham from The Holiday

The heartbreaking story of poor widowed Graham who falls hopelessly in love with Cameron Diaz in ‘The Holiday’. The scene when he’s doing Mr Napkin head for his daughters is really what gets us in this one. Dilf.

Memorable quote: ”I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU.”

8. Chuck from Gossip Girl

With money, class and a smoldering gaze, Chuck Bass is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. Although he can be kind of a prick when his cockiness gets the best of him, we can’t help but be drawn to his bad-boy charm. If more college guys dressed as well as Chuck does, the world would be a more beautiful place.

Memorable quote: “I’m sorry I gave up on us when you never did.”

9. Josh from Clueless

The whole ex-stepbrother thing aside, Josh is the boyfriend we all wish we had. We fell in love with him when he went out and danced with Tai like no one was watching, and we fell even harder when he finally told Cher how he felt. He’s smart, adorable and charmingly witty, and he’s not afraid to call you out when you’re being a little ridiculous.

Memorable quote: “You know you’re gorgeous, alright.”

10. Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing

Pretty much the coolest guy we’ve ever seen, Johnny from Dirty Dancing was the shit. We all dreamed of meeting an older, sexy ride that taught us everything we needed to know about life and sex in one Summer. Dem hip moments though…

Memorable quote: “Nobody puts baby in the corner”

11. Jacob Palmer from Crazy Stupid Love

Okay, so Ryan Gosling is in twice, but come on – they are two very different characters and Dammit, it’s Ryan Gosling. He should probably be in it another 4 times. Jacob is confident, intelligent and ripped as fuck. He starts out in this movie as being a cocky shit who thinks he can have anyone he wants, that’s until he meets Hannah Banana who turns out to be a ‘game changer’.

Memorable quote: ”The war between the sexes is over. We won the second women started doing pole dancing for exercise.”

You’ve been to a billion restaurants, seen every movie and are sick of staying in.

Here are some definitely not boring date ideas that you and your partner will have loads of fun with!

1. Skype date
Just because you’re not together in person doesn’t mean you can’t have a date! Watch a movie together in the background or even cook dinner together (whether it’s the same dish is up to you!).

2. Adventure
Doing something crazy together will make for some really happy memories. Go rock climbing, bungee jumping or even just a good long hike for a fun-filled day.

3. Cookery class
Not only will you learn something but he’ll have no excuse not to be on dinner duty anymore! Who said he can’t cook?

4. Blind gig
Pick out a totally random band you’ve never heard of and go see them. You’ll have a great night and might discover your new favourite band!

5. Late night playground date
Kids don’t need the swings at night! Have loads of fun in a playground and even bring some snacks for an impromptu picnic.

If your looking for belief in true love, we wouldn’t suggest you go ask Emma Thompson for advice!

The actress has admitted that she thinks “the notion of ‘happily ever after’ is bonkers”.

Speaking to Radio Times, she goes on to say that “people aren’t honest because of the desire to maintain the romantic ideal.”

It would seem that Emma has had her fair share of heartbreak and that this has shaped the way she feels today, “My grandmother used to say your heart is no good until it’s been broken 10 times. I know what she means: the cicatrices shape the way in which you navigate all your relationships.”

Emma was married to Kenneth Branagh from 1989-1995 and is currently married to Greg Wise since 2003.

Rita Ora has dismissed her former relationship with reality star Rob Kardashian.

The singer, who is now dating Calvin Harris, was speaking on an Australian radio show when she was asked about her relationship with Rob.

Rita didn’t have too much to say, and it would seem does not like talking about the subject saying: “I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.”

She then continued saying: “Onwards and upwards, guys. Honestly, there’s a place and a time for everything and people change and evolve.”

This isn’t the first time Rita has denied her past feelings for Rob, she recently spoke about her love for Calvin, claiming it was the first time she had ever experienced true love: “I’d never experienced it before. And I was just like in the wilderness, thinking, ‘Will it ever happen?'”

It was around this time also that Rob tweeted worryingly, “No one will ever understand how much it hurts.”

Tips on how not to lead him on

Relationships

Apr 4, 2014

by Amber Saunders

So you know he likes you, you don’t like him in that way but he is a nice guy – oh the conundrum.

Be sure to protect his feelings and don’t lead him on.

1. No meeting alone
If you know he wants something with you then don’t give him hope by meeting him alone.

2. Don’t be overly friendly
No need to constantly text, call, Viber or WhatsApp him because he might think you’ve changed your mind.

3. Be honest
If he makes a blatant move just be honest and tell him you don’t feel that way about him.

4. Don’t slip
It can be flattering and almost seductive that someone is attracted to you and you know you have the power so be careful and don’t make any moves you will regret later.

5. Treat him the same
Don’t treat him any different than you would your girlfriends – after all, would you pat your girl’s bum? OK maybe, but in this case don’t!

OkCupid asks users to boycott Firefox over gay rights row

by Amber Saunders

Online dating site OkCupid, have asked their users to avoid using the Mozilla Firefox browser.

In a statement on their website, OkCupid claim that “Mozilla’s new CEO, Brendan Eich, is an opponent of equal rights for gay couples. We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access OkCupid.”

It was revealed that Eichs made a significant donation to California’s 2008 Propositions 8 campaign , which would ban same-sex marriage.

Last month, the storm rose when Eich was promoted to CEO of the company causing a Twitter backlash.

Mozilla Firefox released a statement yesterday in which they re-affirmed their support for LGBT equality.

In their statement, OkCupid explain their passion behind this request, saying: “We’ve devoted the last ten years to bringing people – all people – together. If individuals like Mr. Eich had their way, then roughly 8% of the relationships we’re worked so hard to bring about would be illegal. Equality for gay relationships is personally important to many of us here at OkCupid. But it’s professionally important to the entire company.”
